The Hummingbirds' Foundation for M.E. (HFME) is fighting for the recognition of M.E.,
and for patients to be accorded the same basic human rights as those with similar
disabling and potentially fatal neurological diseases such as M.S.

This is a group (run by Jodi Bassett) where people with the organic neurological, cardiac, immune and neuroendocrine illness Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (classified at G93.3 by the World Health Organisation) can meet other people with the same illness for advice, support and new friendships. M.E. carers are also welcome. This is also a group that cares about challenging the myths about 'CFS' and ME and isn't prepared to accept how things are now; where people with ME are abused/neglected etc. We know that knowledge is power and that debunking these myths is really important. Please read the group's homepage fully before you join, please. This group also contains a penpals section. (Conditions apply to membership of this group.)

This group is run in the same way as the main support group, but is restricted to severely affected patients. Please read the group's homepage fully before you join. (Restrictions and conditions apply to membership of this group.)

The HFME Yahoo.com discussion group

This is an unlisted group is for those who want to play a part in the setting up of HFME, and participate in various HFME projects and discussions of projects. Please contact Jodi Bassett for more information. (Conditions apply to membership of this group.)

Section 3: Research and articles which expose the lack of scientific legitimacy (and the hidden financial and political motivations) underlying the scientifically unsupportable 'behavioural' paradigm of M.E. and the use of CBT and GET on M.E. patients
